I still have XPB on Polo, but do not have a XPB wallet. Can't find a XPB wallet to download anywhere. Therefore, anyone who has a XPB wallet wants to trade it for something I actually am able to trade?

That's some serious adoption, good to see.

Although it is time to take it to a next level, make it able for people to play for DGB as a prize, e.g. set a prize of 10k DBG for the winner of a match. Because just playing a game and earning DGB is not a sustainable model, since someone has to pay the bill.

This is a very good point. If you want to have the mass adopting Digibyte, it really needs to step up it's game in usability. Even if all stores would accept Digibyte, people would not be using it, simply because it does not offer a better experience (at this moment) than a simple debit card which you can just swipe and the bill is paid. As long as there is no real incentive for the average Joe (be it monetary, usability or whatever else) to use Digibyte, they will not switch. There is a lot of literature why people are hesitant to switch to new innovations (for a simple example: https://lloydmelnick.com/2014/07/23/why-a-new-product-or-game-has-to-be-9x-better/).

As Jessica already mentioned, many people in crypto's are way too focused on the technical side of crypto's, with a good example above on security. The average Joe (unfortunately) does not care about security. Why not? Because 99% of the time to be more secure requires way more effort. And people are lazy, so they go the more convenient way.

Marketing-wise it does a good job compared to other cryptocurrencies. Does it do a good job in comparison with other industries? Unfortunately not. Same goes for usability / user experience.
Don't get me wrong, I support Digibyte and think it does great things. But there are still great things to gain in the aforementioned areas, since almost all cryptocurrencies are doing a bad job in these areas. Therefore, make use of it and get this first-mover advantage. Continue to focus on gamers, most of them are between the tech-savvy people and the average (non-techsavvy) Joe and therefore a perfect place to start.

For the rest, keep up the good job doing so far, and congrats with securing the $120k USD of free hosting. :-)

Thanks for the answer!

Perhaps if Jared gets a lot of questions with regard to explaining 'blockchain' and its uses, write blogposts about it as well and put it on the Digibyte website. If it's good content, it will attract website visitors to the Digibyte website. The input/questions Jared receives can be put on the website including an explanation / answer on the subject, so you have regular new content on your website (which is good for your SEO (and thus findability)). It does not even have to be always related to Digibyte itself, but readers of the blogposts will connect Digibyte as a reliable source of information on blockchain content. However, only do this when you are sure you can maintain the regular content updates; it looks poor/dead if you have only old blogposts.

Could you (or someone else) elaborate on this? In what sense is making use of a public blockchain more secure than setting up your own private blockchain for internal uses?

I think some people need a reality check when it comes to expectations of a company (Digibyte Holdings in this case) and the progress they are making. Especially when it comes to setting up partnerships with large companies; this takes months if not years normally, due to the bureaucracy which comes with these large corporations.

It annoys me a bit to see how many people have these unrealistic expectations with what can be done (giving the resources of Digibyte Holdings) in what amount of time. Especially when it comes to announcements/news, given that any news released about Digibyte didn't have an effect on the price of Digibyte, unless a whale pumped the price at the time of the news release to let people think that the announcement actually does have an effect and all donkeys buying into this get dumped on.

In short, be patient and be in it for the long haul. But for most daytraders that's probably a too long time their attention span can handle.

Can anyone explain me what the benefits are for a user of Digibyte after the update of the codebase?

Even though the above quote is already from a couple of weeks ago, I think this is a very good idea.

I've seen a similar thing happening before bitcoin even existed. At the forum http://www.d2jsp.org/ (a forum back then for Diablo I + II) you would have 'forum gold' depending on the number of posts you made. Another way to get forum gold was to donate (with real money) to the d2jsp forum. Next to receiving forum gold, you would also receive a 'star' behind your forum-name. But the real factor which made the 'forum gold' worth a lot of money, was when people starting to use this forum gold as a currency for trading items in Diablo I + II. The more people valued the forum gold as a legit way to trade Diablo items, the more value the forum gold gained. In the end people where 'donating' a lot of money just to get forum gold so they could buy Diablo items (please note that this was about 10 years ago, I do not know whether there is still such a thing going on at d2jsp - all I know is that the person controlling the forum gold is rich as fuck).

What is interesting is that I see a lot of (possible) similarities with Digibyte currently being implemented in CS:GO and LoL. The current Digibyte gaming pay-out is obviously not a sustainable model  and therefore it is important to make it a more sustainable model. Two things which we can learn from d2jsp:

1. Make sure people can spend Digibyte on skins or whatever items in a game

2. Just as Nyo mentioned above, make Digibyte the prize money in tournaments. Clans / players will start to buy some Digibytes just to play matche for a nice amount of Digibytes.

Another option is to integrate Digibyte into a large forum for CS:GO or LoL players and be the 'forum gold' of that forum.

I need an email address of Jared in order to submit him as a speaker. Could you provide one?

The first time I heard about Digibyte was in an article in a Dutch newspaper NRC.next. Since I always had a looming interest in crypto-currencies, I decided to start reading more about Digibyte and other crypto-currencies. The thing which really triggered my interested in Digibyte specifically, was the 'real-life' application using the Tofugear omni-platform. In order for Digibyte (and other crypto-currencies) to succeed and be accepted by the mainstream public it needs to be better in two criteria than current fiats: 1. speed and 2. ease of use.

Last Friday I visited the store of the House of Blue Jeans of 24hralttrade to experience 'shopping in the future' made possible by the Tofugear platform and the House of Blue Jeans. 24hralttrade showed me the possibilities and I was quite impressed. Especially the realtime analytics behind the platform is something which is very interesting for retailers themselves (stock/supply wise, but also the feedback of why certain products are taken out of the shelf often, but do not get bought). When I had to pay with Digibyte, it worked just as fast as when I would have paid by debit card. Therefore Digibyte already fulfills the first criterion (although it will have to meet this criterion when volume increases when more people start to use it - it should match at least the speed of other fiats when it's scaled). Even though Digibyte is only a (small) part of the Tofugear platform, the real life experience in the House of Blue Jeans convinced me even more of why Digibyte is a very interesting crypto-currency.

Coming to the second criterion; the ease of use. In the shop it was actually easy to pay with Digibyte, if you had everything set up (Digibyte Wallet on your phone). The most difficult part was actually when I decided I wanted to buy some Digibytes. Being new to crypto-currencies in general, I had to figure out everything about crypto-currencies. Even though the Digibyte website helped me somewhat with their explanation on the website on how to get Digibytes, I think there is room for improvement. Couple of suggestions:

1. Add an option for a real web-wallet (just like coinbase), where I only have to setup an account instead of installing stuff. I have a bank account online, why no Digibyte account?
2. When I wanted to buy Digibytes, I first had to find an exchange where I could buy Digibytes. That means I had to make an additional account on that exchange (= extra effort = less ease of use). In addition, I first had to buy bitcoin, since I can only buy Digibyte with bitcoin on most exchanges (at least the ones I check out). I don't want bitcoin, I want Digibyte for my euros! :-)

Since I am quite interested in cryptocurrencies, it was a nice learning experience. However, the mainstream public is lazy and does not want to go through this many steps. I am already having a hard time convincing friends of mine to buy Digibyte, because they don't understand cryptocurrencies in general, and setting up a Digibyte wallet and buy Digibytes at a different place (exchange-website) is already too much trouble. Therefore I would suggest (and I know it is not easy) to have one online Digibyte webwallet where you can buy in the same environment Digibyte for your Euros/Dollars/etc. This would greatly contribute to the 'ease-of-use' of Digibyte which is essential in order to get accepted by the mainstream public.

Furthermore, I think the Digibyte team is delivering excellent work, especially with the Digibyte Market (another 'bridge' to real life - being able to buy real products with Digibyte) and focusing on the gaming audience; a huge potential and an audience which is a bit tech-savy than the mainstream public. Excellent move in my opinion. 

Keep up the good work! :-)

I think it's a very good idea! As I am not a techie myself either, the only thing I can do is to invest, which I am willing to do. Just let me know when you're ready bitkapp.
